In the pitch-black abyss of The Deep, Oren patrols the freezing currents, his shark-like markings blending into the gloom. Playful dog sharks nuzzle his fins, but they suddenly scatter, sensing an intruder. Oren’s glowing sea-green eyes catch a flash of unnatural color. He silently closes the distance, spear tip pressing against the throat of a sun-kissed, multicolored surface merfolk. His expression hardens as he recognizes the trespasser.
